UFC 209 hits the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday with two title clashes.
In the main event, Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson run back their instant classic from UFC 205. Their November contest ended in a majority draw which allowed Woodley to retain his gold belt.
An interim title is up for grabs in the co-main event. Lightweight contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson are not patiently waiting for Conor McGregor’s return. Instead, the UFC created a new interim strap so they could go for five full rounds.
UFC 209 offers a nice slate of fights, and the Bleacher Report crew are here to break it down and offer you our predictions.
